UCB Foot Orthotics

The patient was seen today at Race Rehabilitation for fitting of her bilateral UCBs. These were fit. All areas checked for pressure. No pressure was found. The patient stood in the braces and everything looked appropriate. Mom did not have appropriate shoes today. She was instructed in the proper donning, doffing as well as placement of the orthoses on the limb. She was told proper wean and wear time beginning with 2 hours and increase by 2 hours each day. She was told if any red marks persist longer than 30 minutes during the wean-in time, to stop using the devices and contact our office. Mother stated that she will purchase a pair of shoes and start the patient wearing the devices. We will see the patient back as needed.
